Which physical change takes place when an igneous rock turns into a sedimentary rock?
Erosion, transportation of the eroded material, deposition of this material then lithification.
Is rock broken into small pieces a chemical change?
No actually it isn't. Breaking a bone is a physical change. Think about it. Are you changing it into a different substance. No you're not, so it's a physical change.
When molten rock cools and hardens is a physical change or chemical change?
I think it is physical but I do know it is an igneous rock
How does igeous change to sedimentary?
To turn into a sedimentary rock, an igneous rock must first be weathered (broken down), eroded (moved), and then lithified (compacted and cemented) into a new rock.

It can change when it is eroded and weathered.
What is the process of hard rock being left after softer rock has eroded?
headland
What is crushing a rock a chemical or a physical change?
Crushing a rock is a physical change. It is still rock, just in smaller bits.
How is a rock a physical change?
Because you are just breaking it into smaller pieces. The rock's chemical make up is not being changed.
How metamorphic rock changes into sedimentary rock during the rock cycle?
Only be being eroded and its regolith subsequently being transported to a deposit where it time it will become a new sedimentary rock.
What event creates change of the sedimentary rock?
Sedimentary rock can be eroded into sediments, heated and compressed into metamorphic rock, or melted into magma and cooled into igneous rock.
